[QUOTE="greenejc, post: 1755117, member: 60453"] Yes, bullet blow up will occur when the impact of the bullet is high enough to exceed the tinsel strength of the bullet's jacket. The original Ballistic tip had a copper alloy jacket that was soft and it was not a good bullet for close shots with a 300 Winmag. It worked great in a 30-06, but at impact speeds over 2750 or so it would come apart in heavy muscle and not always penetrate. Nosler identified the problem and I think they changed the jacket material alloy to correct this. You can read about bullet blow up on the BallisticStudies.com website.
